Shi Yuan was also suffering while waiting for Fang Yuechuan to arrive.
Across the screen, Shi Yuan couldn't see the emotion in the message text, but she still studied it several times.
Fang Yuechuan: [Where are you now? 】
Shi Yuan: [Yunan. 】
Fang Yuechuan: [Are you going back to Jiangwu tonight? 】
Shi Yuan: [I’ll be back tomorrow. 】
Fang Yuechuan: [Send me an address and I will come find you. 】
Shi Yuan: [Location. 】
After sending the location, Yuechuan didn't reply, and Shi Yuan didn't ask any more questions.
Until after six o'clock in the evening, Deng Qi got off work, and Fang Yuechuan had not moved yet.
Deng Qi, a damn kid, also knew that he was in trouble, so he bought a bunch of food to atone for his sins.
Shi Yuan didn't mean to blame him. After all, he was made out of nothing: "I'll teach you a lesson this time. Please pay more attention in the future."
Deng Qi nodded: "I remember, I will definitely cause less trouble for you in the future. You must be hungry. I specially asked Brother Wen to go to the city and buy a lot of food. See if there is anything you like."
Shi Yuan was indeed hungry: "Put these things on the larger table next to you."
Deng Qi: "Oh."
Shi Yuan: "Where's Zhong Wenlang, won't he come to eat?"
Deng Qi: "The director has something to do with him. He should be back later. It's okay. I left some food for him. Let's eat first."
Shi Yuan: "Yeah."
Deng Qi was also a talkative during meals, and Shi Yuan would only respond to him from time to time, but that didn't stop him from talking non-stop.
Just halfway through eating, I heard a knock on the door.
Deng Qi put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm going to open the door. Brother Wen should be here."
Shi Yuan said "hmm", then opened her phone and took a look at the time. It was almost seven o'clock, but there was still no news from Fang Yuechuan.
"Why are you here?" Deng Qi's slightly surprised voice came, "Sister, look who is here!"
When Shi Yuan heard the voice and looked toward the door, he was suddenly startled. It was Fang Yuechuan.
He was still wearing formal clothes today. I wonder if he was still busy at work before he came.
"I'm here to find my girlfriend," Fang Yuechuan looked at Deng Qi coldly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Deng Qi raised his hands in front of his chest and explained innocently: "I just came to see Sister Yuan for a meal. I didn't do anything. Don't get me wrong."
Shi Yuan had a headache seeing his stupid look, stood up and said, "Deng Qi, you go back first, we have something to talk about."
Deng Qi nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll leave first, you guys can talk."
After saying that, he quickly took his hat and mask and ran away.
Shi Yuan looked at Fang Yuechuan and said, "Come in, have you eaten? Do you want something to eat?"
Fang Yuechuan walked in, glanced at the take-out food on the table, and said, neither salty nor bland, "I can't eat it."
"You can sit wherever you like," Shi Yuan sat down on the sofa, pursed his lips and asked, "You came here because you saw the news on the Internet, right?"
Fang Yuechuan sat on the sofa on the other side with his legs folded, looked at her and said, "Yeah."
Shi Yuan looked at the ground a little embarrassed and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean anything else. It was malicious interpretation by netizens and it was purely accidental."
Fang Yuechuan: "That's not what I want to say."
Shi Yuan raised her eyes and looked at him: "What is that?"
Fang Yuechuan: "About you, the male artist Deng Qi."
Shi Yuan was a little confused: "What's wrong with him?"
"There is no wind without fire," Fang Yuechuan's deep black eyes looked at Shi Yuan calmly, "What is your relationship with Deng Qi?"
Shi Yuan: "I haven't explained everything, it's just a work relationship."
Fang Yuechuan: "Then why did you fly here all the way? We had dinner and a walk together last night."
Shi Yuan laughed angrily: "Why am I here? I'm here to visit the class. Apart from the work relationship, we are also good friends. Is it weird to have a meal together?"
"Friends?" A mocking smile appeared on Fang Yuechuan's lips, "Then your relationship is indeed very good, and your interactions are so close."
Shi Yuan always felt that what he said today was both a gun and a stick, but she was wrong first, so she tolerated it: "Those things on the Internet were our mistakes. I apologize to you, and I will definitely not happen again in the future."
"Is the mistake yours alone? Why do you apologize to me for him?" Fang Yuechuan narrowed his eyes, "Are you so protective of him?"
His words made Shi Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, but Shi Yuan explained as calmly as possible: "I am Deng Qi's agent. I am responsible for him and solve his problems for him. This is my job."
"Oh, work," Fang Yuechuan stared at Shi Yuan and asked, "Then a man and a woman eating alone in the same room in the middle of the night are also doing it for work? Is it also because of work that he calls you sister?"
Shi Yuan frowned when he heard this, and his voice became colder: "What do you mean?"
Fang Yuechuan asked, "Don't you know what I mean?"
Shi Yuan didn't want to be angry, but Fang Yuechuan was a bit unreasonable: "This is my private matter, are you too lenient?"
"..."
Fang Yuechuan looked at Shi Yuan quietly for a long time. The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, seeming to be mixed with disappointment, sadness, and grievance...but most of them were still powerless.
Because Shi Yuan was right, he was nothing to her, and he was not even qualified to be jealous.
Fang Yuechuan lowered his eyes and said, "In any case, we are obviously a couple. Shouldn't you keep your distance from other men?"
Shi Yuan: "I have already said that we are just a normal working relationship and friends. Those rumors on the Internet are deliberately spread by the media."
Fang Yuechuan looked up at her, his words filled with anger: "So is the photo under the tree also fake?"
Shi Yuan frowned: "What if it's true? What if it's fake? Why do you care about this?"
"Why do you think I should care?" Fang Yuechuan's eyes were slightly red, "Why is this photo the same as what happened to us?"
Shi Yuan: "..."
These words really stopped Shi Yuan. Even if it happened by chance, there was nothing she could do about it.
But Shi Yuan could understand why Fang Yuechuan minded. After all, the two had a good relationship at the time and it was considered a good memory. But now they are being publicly ridiculed, which is really uncomfortable.
Shi Yuan softened his tone and said with some comfort: "Deng Qi is a child at heart and loves to play. The photo was an accident and a coincidence."
Fang Yuechuan asked again: "What about him calling you sister? Is it an accident?"
Shi Yuan was stunned: "What's wrong with calling me sister?"
Fang Yuechuan: "Are you related to him? Why did he call you that for no reason?"
Shi Yuan didn't quite understand and said, "Isn't this just a common title?"
"Normal boys rarely call a girl this name, especially when we have a normal relationship, let alone how skillfully he calls her." Fang Yuechuan stared at her and said, "Have you forgotten that I also called you this when we started dating? ?”
Shi Yuan was silent and said, "You are overthinking it. Deng Qi has two sisters in his family. He has been calling his sisters that way since he was a child, so he calls me that too. It's just to make things easier for him. There is no other meaning."
Fang Yuechuan sneered: "Are you his sister?"
Shi Yuan looked at Fang Yuechuan, his patience almost exhausted: "Fang Yuechuan, don't make trouble unreasonably."
Fang Yuechuan stared at Shi Yuan closely, his eyes full of forced grievance, but he asked stubbornly: "What if I don't?"
Shi Yuan's face turned cold, and he simply said: "If you can't tolerate me so much, we can completely cut off contact now, why bother to cause trouble for each other."
Hearing these words, Fang Yuechuan's eyelashes trembled, his eyelids became obviously redder, and veins popped out in his clenched palms, which were so strong that they even began to tremble.
"Shi Yuan, it turns out that I really don't matter to you at all."
Fang Yuechuan's words were slightly choked, and his tone was even lower, as if he was deeply disappointed.
Shi Yuan felt like a knife had been stabbed in his heart, and even breathing was painful.
